Passage 6: Questions 22 - 26
Line (5)
Meeting can waste a great deal of time. But you can make your meeting run more smoothly by following a few simple rules. First, have an agenda. This will help keep you focused on what is important. Next, decide who needs to be involved. More people mean less efficient discussion. Finally, keep the discussion moving. Thank each speaker as he or she finishes and move on to the next speaker. This encourages people to make their remarks brief.
The problem with meetings, of course, is that no one likes them, no one wants them, and no one needs them. Yet, everyone has them. Meetings are the cooperate
world‟s response to primitive socializing behaviors. People feel more comfortable
in making decision in groups. They can then share blame if a decision turns out to be the wrong decision. Sharing credit for a correct decision is not often found in groups. Then individuals tend to remind people of how persuasive they were in the
meeting when the “right” decision was made.
What happens after a meeting is more important than what happens during the meeting. The skills used then are more professional and less procedural. So no matter how well you run a meeting, it is the work that gets done after the meeting that is important.
22. How can you run a meeting well?
a. Watch how your manager runs
meetings.
b. Follow the rules in this article
c. Read books on meeting planning.
d. Ask an assistant for help.
23. What is the purpose of meeting agenda? a. To keep the speakers organized b. To allow free discussion
c. To send to others in advance
d. To keep focused on important items
24. How do you receive other people‟s comments at a meeting?
a. Try to keep others from talking
b. Thank them and move on
c. Give them as much time as they want
d. Criticize them in public. 25. The author feels that meetings
a. give people an opportunity to socialize b. are an effective tool
c. are cost efficient d. are well-attended
26. In conclusion the author feels
a. meetings should be held more
frequently
b. all meetings should be in the morning c. no one should receive credit for their
work
